I missed it too - and I'm gonna miss the Portugal game - boss is in today

It's so fucking inconsiderate!!



Oh well, hopefully plenty of goals in tonights game!!

Both goals were headers? The Kiwi picked up a yellow for taking of his shirt after scoring in the 93rd min..

Young lad called Winston Reid will never have to buy a drink in NZ again

Iirc scored the own goal right at the end that let Man City equalise against FC Midjylland at the SAS a couple of years ago - UEFA cup or whatever it was called then.

Seen him a few times - has played for the DK U17s and 21s I think - only went over to NZ, where he was born, in March I think - been in DK since he was 10 or so and came through the youth ranks at FCM. Not a bad defender, although with the caveat that he plays in the Danish league so that's all relative I spose.

What formation were New Zealand playing yesterday ? I onl;y saw little bits ofd the game while I was ambling around work and from what I saw the formation seemed to vary between 4-3-3 , 3-4-3 and 3-3-4 . I was expecting them to stick 5 indefence and have one up front as well

No, we often play with 3 up front...

It's just that other than twinkle toes Smeltz those guys aren't exactly top class. Not that Smeltz is torres-class of course. Altho he does keep winning the golden boot in the A-league
